Engine is from the same family as Prelude 2.2l VTEC - H22A series. This one is one of the ultimate, along with Prelude Type S, producing 220HP. Before the K-series it was one of the most sought after engines for Honda swaps.

[@SwapBlogRU]

Weirdly enough the Prelude Type-S didn't quite make the horsepower that was claimed. People have dynoed them and CL1 Euro-R's, both have red-top engines that were supposed to make 220 horsepower, but the CL1's were always noticeably more powerful (like, 10-15 horsepower, if I'm remembering correctly).

[@LegendaryGauntlet]

@@SwapBlogRU Probably exhaust configuration.

[@SwapBlogRU]

@@LegendaryGauntlet I can tell you as a former 5-gen Prelude owner that the Euro-R intake manifold used to be sought after (the Prelude Type-S used a different one, specifically the regular SiR H22 black-top intake manifold). On the other hand, the Type-S had a better intake system than the Euro-R Accord (which was also a sought after item in Prelude owner circles).

[@k20ee96]

Brake issue was interesting, the ATR has the best brakes of the "golden era" Hondas, using the same big twin pot calipers as the contemporary NSX. Good pads and fluid and they should be mega. The suspension setup is also pretty advanced with dual wishbone fronts (like others from the time), but a more sophisticated multi link rear rather than the trailing arm setup the DC2 etc used. The main issue with the ATR as you found out is the gearing which makes it almost impossible to keep in VTEC all the time, they really benefit from a shortened final drive and / or gears. Cool cars and still relatively cheap too 👍

[@hondamueller]

I never thought that the Accord Type R uses twin piston calipers at front. Most probably the pads were still stock and had brake fade.

[@emveezee]

@@hondamueller yeah either that or someone didn't bleed them correctly because it looked like the pedal went straight to the floor

[@roflpwnbbq]

Just need proper pads and fluid which handle that level of thermal load. Pretty easy considering how readily available those upper echelon of products are.

[@ANiMOSiTYZA]

Probably old brake fluid, meaning it likely boiled. Brake fluid is hygroscopic - it attracts moisture - which then reduces the boiling point of the brake fluid. This is why all cars require a brake fluid change every 2 years.

[@TakumiFujiwara80]

Old circuit habit: you need to pump the brake in the straight to avoid starve line and keep the pads at optimal distance. I never seen misha doing that and wondering when it gonna happen and here we are.

Suddenly go to break, pedal goes rock hard, and it isn't slowing down, had all my weight on the pedal and missed the road I was about to make a right turn down. Scary AF. Managed to limp it slowly back home at about 15mph 😂

[@mattsandford]

I'd feel so bad if I asked Misha for a lap and something like this happened with my brakes. My first time on track I was driving a 5.7 litre V8 in 2008ish which had dot 2 brake fluid. I had no idea brake fluid could boil but coming into a corner after full send and the brake pedal went flat! Luckily because I was new to track driving I came off the gas early so pumped the brakes to try build pressure and slowed down enough to take the corner with a very puckered butthole. Took the next exit, and parked the car with smoke bellowing out of my wheels. I got myself a 718 GT4 in September, just waiting for spring to take it on track - can't wait, it's going to be way better. These videos hype me up for it so much

[@g0fvt]

Seemed like old brake fluid boiling in the calipers, though ABS seemed to be active just beforehand. Well done as always.

Exactly! i had the same issue on my car because the break fluid was old though when i checked the pads & break lines were intact!

[@johnnywolde306]

Next time if no brakes press the brake pedal again, most time if sudden no brakes one brake pad has left the building because it has become to thin so it can pop out through the gap of the brake pad bracket and disk, by pumping the pedal you fill up the gap again to restore the brake pressure. You are then braking metal to metal but in most cars you wont even notice..one in the previous video the same

[@kewlhand_87]

I was thinking maybe it was what we call brake push over here, basically what you said 😂.

[@edzik2000]

The issue's name is "f**k warming up of brakes"😂. When brake disc is cold and you start to attack, the disc is warming up very quickly. His diameter is increasing very quickly as well. But the hub is not warming up with the same speed and try to hold cold brake disc's diameter. Therefore, hub is starting to bend the brake disc, and you immediately loose your brake efficiency, because pads do not transfer brake pressure to whole brake disc. The hub usually warms up a bit slower than disc and increases its diameter slowly as well. When the hub reaches the same temperature as brake disc and increases his diameter as well, the hub fully releases brake disc and stop to bend him. That's why the brake power is coming back during your driving 😂. FLOATED brake discs do not have this issue, because floated disc can grow in diameter without bending 🎉 And that's why you must warm up your brakes before attack on the track😊.

[@Fran_Cachu]

I have the pleasure to own one of this. It is just an amazing car. The suspension is confortable and efective. And the engine... You just can love it. Difficult to keep in the vtec range because of the gearbox (from 5800 to 7900 rpm). But it is a great car. You can really feel one with the car

@@tomolomo23 To drive, the ATR. ATRs are around 100kg lighter, have a wider wheel track, more aggressive VTEC crossover and of course, the fantastic steering wheel.

Also the H22 engine was Honda's engine of choice for touring car racing, both in Accords and the Civic EG9 in Japan.

This is pretty common. Probably mostly for older vehicles, but the G's sometimes move the brake fluid enough to not have enough fluid to build pressure. Most commonly under left foot braking. Team O'Neil rally school has a good video on it. I don't remember if it was specific to this phenomenon, but it definitely covers it.
